MIPDoc Takeaways: A Video Interview for China’s Unscripted Marketplace

Content China‘s Carrie Huo sat down with me in Cannes to chat about trends in the Unscripted video sector worldwide.

• The Mandarin-subtitled interview was aimed at China’s documentary and reality producers.
• The video is distributed on the ad-supported Media Plus China platform.
• It is worth a look just for the production value and ad load!

Topics covered include:

• SVOD originals.
• Channels will require a lot of content for a long time.
• Netflix, Nat Geo and the ‘swing back to quality.’
• The evolution of China’s documentary sector.
• VR’s limited relevance for documentary story-telling.
